Interesting facts about Alice In Wonderland
- The Alice In Wonderland cocktail is named after the classic Lewis Carroll novel.
- Despite its sweet and fruity taste, it's a strong cocktail with a high alcohol content.
- It's often served in a highball glass, garnished with a cherry or a slice of lemon.
Ingredients
- Amaretto: 1 oz(30ml)
- Peach schnapps: 1 oz(30ml)
- Sour mix: 1 oz(30ml)
- Southern comfort: 1 oz(30ml)
- Garnish: Cherry or Lemon Slice
Amaretto (1 oz)
The sweet, almond-like flavor from amaretto enhances the cocktail with warmth and depth. Too much and it'll overpower the drink, too little and you’d miss out on the lush nuttiness. Without it, your drink loses its enchanting 'marzipan' profile. Frangelico could be a hazelnut-flavored alternative, adding a different nutty twist.

Peach Schnapps (1 oz)
Peach Schnapps gives a fruit-forward sweetness, crucial for that wonderland magic. It balances the sour mix and gives the cocktail a summery vibe. If omitted, you'd lose a layer of flavor complexity. An alternative like apricot brandy would bring a similar stone-fruit charm but with a little more kick.
Alex Green
Sour Mix (1 oz)
This is the cocktail’s source of bright, tangy acidity that cuts through the sweetness, giving it balance and zest. Too much can be puckering, too little makes the cocktail cloying. No sour mix? Try a homemade concoction of lemon juice and simple syrup for a similar effect.
Mary Mitkina
Southern Comfort (1 oz)
A smooth whiskey liqueur with hints of fruit and spice, Southern Comfort plays a supporting role, adding a little Southern soul to this whimsical mix. Not including it would make the cocktail less complex. Bourbon could substitute for a bolder whiskey presence.
Emma Rose
Garnish: Cherry or Lemon Slice
A cherry adds a touch of elegance and a hint of additional fruitiness. The lemon slice not only decorates but also infuses subtle citrus notes which can be squeezed in for an extra zing. Both embody the playful essence of Alice's adventure.
